How can a husband who repeatedly cheats on his wife and engages in perversion be helped to become righteous and not look at anyone other than his wife, knowing that she is pregnant and they have a child, and the wife has confronted him multiple times to no avail?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
We advise the questioner to seek help from Allah the Almighty, and to strive to reform her husband by reminding him of Allah and warning him of His punishment. She can seek assistance from some righteous relatives or others, and encourage him to associate with the righteous and attend gatherings of knowledge and remembrance, while frequently supplicating for his guidance. If the husband does not repent and remains upon his state, committing those forbidden acts, then it is better for her to separate from him through divorce or khul’.
